Full disclosure: I haven't watched the new show; I came here hoping to get an idea of how it is. That being said, I wholly disagree with your suggestion that "girls will never like batman as much as boys". The MOST enthusiastic batman fans I know are girls (I'm talking full, classic anthologies on the shelves that have been read multiple times, seen ALL the shows and movies, and reading/watching marathons every time it's "bat" time of year). I'm not saying that girls are the majority of fans, but I'd argue that the majority of Batman fans don't even watch the animated shows or read the comics these days. There's nothing about being a woman that precludes someone from enjoying well-written fictional characters. "I'm not ok with show's that I want to watch as a boy being 'diluted'" is such a weird stance. The idea that "Batman is for boys" is such a corporate marketing idea. Batman is for everyone. Storytelling is for humans. That doesn't mean everyone is gonna enjoy every story, and that's fine. But trying to make Batman 'for boys' is no better than trying to make Batman 'for girls'. The best stories, the ones that get remembered and passed on aren't the ones that were made for a given audience, they're the ones that are true to their narrative and characters and let them come to life in ways that make us see them as real. Comic characters are some of my favorites because they get the genuine opportunity to explore their own characterization through basically infinite contexts. The idea that being true to that character means they'll always be exactly the same and identical in every form is so... boring. It's comics, man! There's so much fun to be had in seeing how our favorite heroes and villains change and react when details in their universe are tweaked!

@@JCstoryteller07 I agree things get tweaked along the way with time but the things that stick around are often the ideas that resonate the most.. and I think a lot of the choices were not made for the pure betterment of the story, you know? And look I'm glad you and your female friends dig Batman, but to say that TV shows aren't 'gendered' is a disingenuous take I feel.. just look at something like Sex And The City or Greys Anatomy.. Or Barbie! It's not that boys/men can't enjoy these shows but more that these shows should be enjoyed on their own terms and form what they're legitimately striving to be..
